Mere To Giridhar Gopal — Complete Lyrics
मेरे तो गिरधर गोपाल
Sanskrit text with English transliteration and translation
Verse 1
मेरे तो गिरधर गोपाल, दूसरो न कोई।
जाके सिर मोर मुकुट, मेरो पति सोई॥
Mere to Giridhar Gopal, doosro na koi
Jaake sir mor mukut, mero pati soi
Giridhar Gopal alone is mine — there is no other. He who wears the peacock-feather crown, he alone is my Lord.
Verse 2
तात मात भ्रात बंधु, आपनो न कोई।
छाँड़ि दई कुल की कानि, कहा करिहै कोई॥
Taat maat bhraat bandhu, aapno na koi
Chhaandi dayi kul ki kaani, kaha karihai koi
Father, mother, brother, kin — none of them are truly mine. I have let go of my family's honour; what can anyone do?
Verse 3
संतन ढिग बैठि बैठि, लोक लाज खोई।
चुनरी के किए टूक, ओढ़ लीन्ही लोई॥
Santan dhig baithi baithi, lok laaj khoi
Chunari ke kiye took, odh leenhi loi
Sitting among the saints I have shed all social shame. I tore my fine veil to shreds and wrapped myself in a coarse blanket.
Verse 4
आँसुन जल सींचि सींचि, प्रेम बेलि बोई।
अब तो बेलि फैल गई, आणंद फल होई॥
Aansun jal seenchi seenchi, prem beli boi
Ab to beli phail gayi, aanand phal hoi
Watering it again and again with my tears, I sowed the creeper of love; now the creeper has spread and bears the fruit of bliss.
Verse 5
मीरा प्रभु गिरधर नागर, मिल्या मोहि सोई॥
Meera prabhu Girdhar Nagar, milya mohi soi
Meera's Lord is Girdhar Nagar (Krishna) — He alone has become mine.
